What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Nothing in the section is left out. It is a single sentence.

The section works by amending section 401(b)(7)(A)(iii) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which is not indexed here, so what the figure funds cannot be checked against anything on this site.
